I have been wanting to make my own cream cheese spread for a while and finally did! This is one of many recipes I have been thinking about. There are more to come…stay tuned!
Today’s spread has fresh spinach, dill, lemon juice, cream cheese, feta, garlic and onion…so good on your favorite crackers, breads, bagels and veggies! This would be wonderful on turkey or veggie sandwiches and wraps too!
Spinach & Dill Cheese Spread/Dip
Ingredients
- 6 oz bag of Fresh Baby Spinach
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 4 oz Feta, crumbled
- 2 Cloves Garlic, mined
- 3 Green Onions, chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Dill (more if you like)
- 1 Tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
Directions
In a sauce pan, heat olive oil on medium heat, add garlic, green onion and spinach. Cook, stirring spinach continuously for approximately 5 minutes until done – see picture below. Remove from pan, drain any excess liquid. Chop spinach and place in large mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients. Mix until blended well. Place in fridge and allow to chill for a few hours. Enjoy with your favorite crackers, breads, bagels and veggies!
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheers!

Hi Mary!
This dip looks delicious. I love the combination of flavors that you used to create it. I also like that you used fresh spinach rather than frozen spinach.
Thanks for sharing on Marvelous Mondays last week! This recipe was the most viewed link at last week's party so I will be featuring it at tonight's party!
Have a fabulous weekend.

I can't wait to try this recipe. I love that it's gluten free, too. (I have a celiac kid, so we're learning to eat without wheat.) I bet this would even make some of my failed GF bread taste better! Thanks for linking up at One Creative Weekend! Enjoy your weekend. Pinning.
I love anything that includes cream cheese. It sounds amazing and your pictures are great. I'm stopping in from Happy Hour Projects. I'm sharing on my Facebook Page and I'm now following you there as well.
Well I totally missed this one (not surprising this last couple of weeks) but I'm glad I caught it in time to add it to my other appetizer of yours I'm making for my Christmas Day brunch! Thanks Mary…looks delish!
This looks delicious. I have a link party called Wednesdays Adorned From Above Blog Hop and would love to have you share this with everyone. It runs from Wednesday through midnight Sunday. Here is the link to the party.
